Do I have to order them on the Internet? Where the heck would one get some of these?

I checked a CVS, and the best they could do was a $5.99 pair of earbuds that came with some extra. Not that my earbuds are all that good in the first place, but that seems overkill.

Anyone have any ideas? It's funny to think that something so simple can be so hard to find!

I found multi-coloured ones at a Japanese dollar store. They had a wide variety available.

Not sure if these are universal size, but they'd probably work Text

I just did a search on google for "earbud foams pads" it came up with a few more hits, but from less reputable online stores.

True, but my [admittedly cheap-ass] earbuds fall out of my ears/are less comfortable without them.

And I was hoping not to have to order something that should cost around 15 cents on the Internet (and have it shipped).

it'll probably cost you $6 to have them shipped.

hahaha, leave it up to apple to charge $10 for a few pieces of thin ass foam.

See my post above, try a dollar store. Also, some place like Radio Shack would probably have them.
